\r\nA visit to Lagos will make you see new and surprising things daily. It could be a price variation within the same axis, a brawl between members of the same motor park, an epic dance display on a busy road, a traffic delay, or a policeman who refuses to let you go for a crime you didn’t commit, or the agbero ( tout) that feels you should pay him for passing. These things play out every day. Lagos is the drama.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n
There is a reason\u00a0Lagos is both the Center of Excellence and a city of different drama\u00a0themes<\/strong>.Lagos exposes you to a variety of TV shows, acted live on different streets and parastatals.How about the Night? If these different shades of paparazzi happen during the day, don\u2019t you think the night isn\u2019t too dark for a different level of turbulence?<\/p>\r\n
If you arrive in Lagos late, it’s fundamental we begin with the Dos and don’ts of Lagos City.<\/p>\r\n

Things you shouldn’t do in Lagos ( for the new in town)<\/p>\r\n
<\/h5>\n<\/div>[vc_single_image image=”13748″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n1. Not knowing where you are going :<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
Lagos is a land of bliss. However, there is a reason why Lagosians are tagged “street smart<\/strong>“<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI understand if you\u2019re new in town, and you possibly don\u2019t know your way around, as an edge, you should have a near knowledge of where you are going so that when you don\u2019t seem to get the road\u00a0, you can always ask any stranger you see on the road with more audacity.<\/p>\r\n
When you ask questions, you should wear some confidence so you are not perceived to be in total confusion. If you appear that way, you are likely to meet either of these persons.<\/p>\r\n
You could meet the angel that takes pity on you and chooses to show you the way for nothing. You could also meet a loiter who will only exchange information for some cash. Most especially if you are in areas where we have more street boys.<\/p>\r\n
\r\nNow, imagine if you don’t know the way and you have to pay everyone to get the next direction. It’s another level of frustration<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMore victims have been recorded to have lost their belongings on their first day in Lagos. Hence, the reason why you need to know your way, this is so that even when you ask questions, you don\u2019t ask with confusion written all over you.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n2. Always prepare a place to stay ahead of time\u00a0:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
Amongst many things, not preparing a place to stay makes you more vulnerable to folks who are looking for freshmen and women to exploit. As stated earlier, Lagos is a land of bliss and premium drama, to get a space to crash for the night or a few days isn’t much of a big deal.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHotels are seemingly expensive, and crashing in for a few days can be demanding for those who want a good stay and still maintain their budget. However, as mentioned earlier, you should get a room ready before you travel down to Lagos.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhy<\/strong>\u00a0is<\/strong>\u00a0that<\/strong>\u00a0?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
\r\n
- There\u2019s a high tendency for Lagos traffic get to you, be it late at night, early in the morning, or under the scorching sun.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
Traffic jams are a part of Lagos already. You can’t escape it in most cases.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n
- The probability is also high that finding a hotel that fits your budget might take you a while to get. Here\u2019s a suggestion that has worked for me and a lot of Lagosians to prepare ahead.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
